Quicktime Pro won't display JPG or create image sequence

I'm having a problem with QT Pro in that some of my jpg files will open in QT as blank white. When I resize the window, the window blinks with a scrambled image. Same thing happens when I try to create an image sequence.
This doesn't happen on all my jpg files, maybe about half of them. Also, the same files that don't open properly in QT Pro on my Mac Pro open just fine in QT Pro on another computer. These files also open fine in Preview, Lightroom & Photoshop - it's just QT that's having problems.
I've deleted and reinstalled QT with no luck. Any ideas what the problem could be? Help is greatly appreciated...

Try the following:
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that click on the triangle next to Images - Still image files.
Make all items are enabled (checked) except for PDF Image.
Click the OK button.
Restart your computer.
==============
Take a look in your Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder - if you see any QT plugins or webplugins file there, remove them to the desktop or trash.
Restart your computer.

Are you trying to view JPG files from a browser or from your HD? Asking because most browsers have a +"file helper"+ preference. For Firefox, it's under the Applications Preferences. There, you can select which type of files you can map to the QT browser plug-in.

  • My macbook pro won't display on a tv with hdmi cable

    My macbook pro won't display onto a tv with an hdmi cable.  But it isn't the cable or the tv because it worked with my girlfriends macbook pro.  When I tried it on her tv it came up with the display but it was sketchy.  On my tv it won't show up.  Is it a setting or could the display port be messed up?

    I had same problem with mac air.  After yosemite upgrade the firewall was on, turned it off and mac started to airplay to AppleTV again.

  • Using QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT movie?

    Can I use QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT (uncompressed) movie? Thanks...
      Windows XP  

    Yes.
    One of the features of the QuickTime Pro upgrade is "Open Image Sequence". It imports your sequencially named (1.jpg, 2.jpg) liked sized images (any format that QT understands) and allows you to set a frame rate.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
    You can also adjust the frame rate by adding your image .mov file to any audio clip. Simply "copy" (Command-A to select all and then Command-C to copy) and switch to your audio track.
    Select all and "Add to Selection & Scale". Open the Movie Properties window and "Extract" your new (longer or shorter) file and Save As.
    As you've posted in the Mac Discussion pages but your profile says XP you'll need to subsitute Control key where I reference Command key.

  • Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

    What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
    If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
    So much for productivity.

    Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
    Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

  • Quicktime Pro won't import image sequencee

    I have QuickTime 7 Pro on my Mac. I am trying to load a large image sequence. It never loads. I have tried shortening the file names, no spaces. I have tried different types like Jpg. vs. Tiff. nothing seems to help. It just freezes and I have to quit out of it. Any ideas? It works on my desktop but not on my laptop. I have already had my laptop replaced as Apple said it was a hard drive issue, but it is now happening on my new laptop. So it cannot be a hard drive issue.

  • Quicktime pro won't install

    Upon downloading and installing, my 10.5.8 system restarts, then there is no evidence of Quicktime Pro on my machine.
    Multiple tries, same result.
    Downloading again doesn't help.
    Why won't this puppy install?

    There is no such thing as a QuickTime pro download.
    QuickTime Player is already installed on your machine. You enable to Pro features by entering the registation info you got in the email confirmation.

  • Quicktime Pro won't let me download video

    I've just upgraded Quicktime to Quicktime Pro so that I can download video from my Canon digital camcorder for use with Logger Pro for my physics classes.
    Quicktime now shows several options that weren't available with just the player, but it does not show the option to open a "New Video Recording" as the online help file says it should. I have my camcorder connected to my pc by firewire and it works fine to download video to my computer with Windows Movie Maker.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Deanna in OR

    QuickTime Pro for Windows does not allow "New Video Recording". Audio files only.
    New video recording is only a feature of the Mac version of the Pro upgrade.
    Use Movie Maker to create your files and convert them to QuickTIme formats using the Pro upgrade.

  • Quicktime Pro Won't Record Video or Audio

    I'm trying to record a movie with Quicktime Pro 7.5 on my MacBook, using the built in iSight. I can see myself on the screen live, but when I press the red record button, I just instantly get this message.
    Recording failed to record a movie.
    Ditto for audio.
    I quit, restarted the computer, to no avail. What's up?

    When I had this problem awhile back, it was because I had set QuickTime Player to open with Rosetta previously when troubleshooting a problem. That might be something you want to check as well.
    Also, try creating a new user to see if you can capture under that user. (That's how I successfully determined what my problem was)

  • QuickTime Pro won't load to Snow Leopard

    I own QuickTime Pro. By virtue of owning Final Cut Studio.
    But it doesn't work right on my newly Snow Leopard-ized 8 core tower.
    I download QT 7 from the QTP page, but it won't install because:
    "QuickTime can't be installed on this disk. This version of
    QuickTime 7 can't be installed on this disk because
    QuickTime X is already present. Please use Software
    Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime
    for your Mac."
    %$#@!!
    The "QuickTime Player 7" menu item isn't the same as on other Macs. It doesn't show a "QuickTime Preferences" item, only a "Preferences" item, so many things can't be done with it.
    Registration shows three blank lines but "Apple Pro Apps User" in small type at the bottom.
    Even though it announces itself as QuickTime Player 7, it does most things that QuickTime Pro has always done, but I can't even update it with a fresh install, it seems.
    I don't care at all for QuickTime X, but it seems intent on blocking my way.
    How to get around it?

    That version fails to show the "QuickTime Preferences" item in the drop down menu that includes "Preferences," which was my reason behind trying to update it.
    Yes, it was replaced by the single registration option which no longer accesses the system preferences window.
    Its QTPro features seem to work, but I can't, for instance, select Kiosk mode through any of the current menu items... Am I stuck until Apple brings out a non-interim version? They've had a year...
    Haven't tried using it lately, but the "Kiosk" option is still available as a QTL file option if you can use a QTL file for whatever you want to do.

  • Quicktime Pro won't recognize my video camera.

    The video camera is attached to the computer via Firewire. I checked and the computer recognizes that the camera is attached by Firewire.
    I'm trying to transfer already-shot video from the video camera into Quictime Pro, but when I turn on the camera and play the video and click the NEW MOVIE RECORDING link in Quictime - I get a message "NO RECORDING DEVICE FOUND".
    Does anyone know what I have to do to get Quicktime Pro to recognize the video camera?
    Thanks

    When I import the video into iMovie, iMovie squashes the widescreen video into a rectangle with the dimensions of a TV screen, and there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it back into a distortion-free widescreen image.
    I would upgrade iMovie (from 3.03), but Apple doesn't seem to sell the upgrade anymore (not that will work in OS X 10.3.9.)
    I have Quicktime Pro and iMovie and I can't get the video out of my camcorder and into my computer.

  • QuickTime Pro won't let me save a file from a website

    I have QuickTime Pro 7.0 Normally I can right click a link in Mail and select, "Download linked file" and it will allow me to save an MP3. Not this time. Other times, once actually on a website, I can click on the button on the web based version of QuickTime and save a local copy. However, I can't do that on this website:
    http://survive2thrive.gsradio.net:8080/120309.mp3
    Does anyone know why?
    Thanks!

    Copy the URL.
    In Safari open the download window (Cmd-Opt-L)
    Paste.
    OR
    Paste the URL in the Addressfield
    Option-Return and the file will download.
